That would be a great read if anyone could pull it off convincingly. (And I don't want any of you trolls out there saying that it would be hard to be any more fake than the real thing.) That's just not nice. I looked up "fakecrunch.com" and the domain is parked and advertising things like Ab Crunchers. I own fakeblogs.com and blogfakes.com if anyone is interested.
